Hello! So, I am super nervous posting on here. This is my first time doing anything like this, but right now, I am desperate for some advice.
Here goes.
Me and my husband have been married for two years in June. He is by far the most doting and respectful man I have ever known in my life. He truly does go above and beyond to show me how much he loves me. He never says one ill word to or about me, is always, well, almost obsessed with me. He thinks I am beautiful the way I am. But there is one issue that we have had that..
I do my best to be as open and available for him as often as he needs, but he still is tempted by p*rn and looking at other women. He actually actively looks away when women who are dressed provocatively walk by. He admitted to me to being tempted and that he is doing his best to give it to God, and he still says I am gorgeous and more than enough. I understand we all are tempted in one way or another, but this has hit me very deeply. I am trying to wrap my head around how I am not to take this personally, and still be as supportive as I can through this with him, but it is very difficult. I find myself comparing myself to them and the p*rn. It has caused me to feel so inadequate and inferior and like I cannot measure up. But he still continues to tell me how beautiful I am, and he continues to seek me for affection and intimacy.
Is there anyone who can offer me sound advice on this issue? Or a different perspective? I don't want to shame him or push him away. I want to work through the difficulty of this but am unsure what to do.
